Chapter 87: Chapter 87
Keira Olsen felt a dropping pain in her lower abdon, but she could endure it.
She grasped Holly Sims’s wrist and said, “I need to go to the bathroom.”
“I’ll help you.”
Holly Sims supported her by the arm and escorted her into the bathroom, quietly waiting outside.
Inside, she felt uneasy.
Seeing her pale face and the cold sweat on her forehead, could it be that she was really anemic?
...
…
At that mont, inside the detention center visitation room.
Poppy Hill ca over with a smile, ingratiating herself, “Isla, how did you find the ti to visit ?”
After finishing, she added, “You shouldn’t have co, this isn’t a good place, it might bring bad luck.”
Her warmth was t only with a faint smile from Isla Olsen, then she showed a hesitant expression.
Poppy Hill imdiately asked with concern, “What’s wrong, you look terrible, did sothing happen?”
As she finished speaking, her expression darkened, “Is it Keira again? Has she disrespected you?”
Isla Olsen just bitterly smiled, “It’s Keira, but not disrespect toward , Keira is in trouble.”
“Oh, then it’s nothing.” Poppy Hill scoffed, “With her obstinate nature, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Who did she offend this ti? Did she get a lesson?”
A schadenfreude smile spread across her face.
Isla Olsen choked up, increasingly finding Poppy Hill foolish.
It had always been like this since they were young, wearing everything on her face, utterly clueless about pretense.
It was a mystery how, back in the day, she had gotten so lucky as to be switched with Keira Olsen.
Isla Olsen’s eyes flickered, then she lowered her head, “It’s not that she offended soone, she, she committed murder and is now detained by the police.”
“Great news!” Poppy Hill imdiately exclaid excitedly, “That ungrateful creature should be sentenced to death, right? Then she’ll never anger you again!”
Isla Olsen: “…”
She gave Poppy Hill a pitying glance, then coughed, “She killed Finley Hill.”
“I don’t care who she killed… What? Isla, whom did you say? Finley?! Am I hearing things?!!”
Poppy Hill lunged forward onto the table, her emotions highly agitated.
The only brother in the family, though a bit of a scoundrel, Poppy Hill loved him dearly.
Isla Olsen sighed, “Actually, it’s not Keira’s fault, I heard Finley Hill demanded five million from her. When she refused, during their struggle, Finley accidentally fell onto a steel bar and was impaled through the chest… He died instantly. Aunt Hill, calm down, although Keira is Dr. South’s daughter and probably very wealthy, five million is still a lot, it’s understandable she wouldn’t want to give it.”
Poppy Hill’s eyes widened, her rims red as she suddenly stood up, “This cursed girl, over five million, she killed Finley?! I shouldn’t have raised her, she should have been drowned at birth! Where is she? I want to kill her! To avenge Finley!!”
Her emotions were too highly charged, causing a nearby officer to warn her.
After a while, Poppy Hill’s emotions finally settled a bit, but the anger in her eyes was undiminished.
Isla Olsen spoke up, “Aunt Hill, since both are your relatives, I felt you had the right to know, please don’t do anything rash.”
Poppy Hill looked dazed, tears streaming down, “Don’t worry, Isla, I’m okay, I’m okay…”
Isla Olsen then spoke, “Good, then you should go back first. I, I’ll go see Keira…”
“Why see her? A death row inmate! I’ll just wait for her execution!” Poppy Hill said viciously.
Isla Olsen looked at her as if she were viewing a fool, “Aunt Hill, Keira’s charge is manslaughter, at most she will get ten years and then she’ll be released…”
“How can that be?! That’s letting her off too easy!”
“…”
Finding that Poppy Hill simply couldn’t grasp the main point of her words, Isla Olsen sighed, “Aunt Hill, Keira didn’t do it intentionally, she killed soone and must be scared. If you see her in the detention center, rember to comfort her.”
Poppy Hill finally reacted, “She’s detained here too?!”
Isla Olsen nodded, “Yes, she hasn’t been sentenced, so she is temporarily detained in a single patient room—she should be with you, right?”
Both shared patient rooms and single patient rooms are in the sa area.
Poppy Hill’s eyes narrowed, revealing a fierce look, “That’s good then.”
Isla Olsen stood up, “Aunt Hill, it’s about ti I left.”
Poppy Hill reluctantly responded, “Ah, Isla, you need to take good care of yourself and marry into the Horton Family peacefully. Don’t worry about …”
However, Isla Olsen had already left the visiting room without paying attention to her words.
She followed the visiting room’s direction out the door, preparing to leave the police station, but then she saw her old classmate Holly Sims at the bathroom entrance, looking anxious.
A policewoman was asking her, “Dr. Sims, Keira Olsen’s lawyer ca again early this morning, asking about the status of the bail review. Seeing the suspect’s condition just now, she seed genuinely anemic, so is it approved or not?”
Holly Sims knit her brows upon hearing this.
She looked worriedly towards the bathroom, thinking about Keira Olsen’s apparent weakness, which seed genuine. She pursed her lips, about to say “agree” when Captain Lincoln approached.
Captain Lincoln also heard the conversation and frowned, “Already feigning illness?”
Holly Sims countered, “She’s not faking it.”
Captain Lincoln scoffed, “Dr. Sims, I think you’ve forgotten how she played you last night. You believe this? I rember you swore last night that if she applied for bail, you would take off your uniform. Haven’t you forgotten that?”
Holly Sims clenched her jaw, “Captain Lincoln, she is really unwell…”
But Captain Lincoln didn’t believe it, “How convenient, just detained for a day and already feeling unwell. A delicate miss can’t handle a bit of hardship.”
Holly Sims wanted to speak, but Isla Olsen stepped forward, “Hello, are you talking about my sister Keira Olsen?”
Several people turned towards her.
Holly Sims frowned slightly, “Why are you here?”
Isla Olsen’s face showed nervousness, she grabbed Holly Sims, “Dr. Sims, can we talk over here? About my sister’s health…”
Holly Sims’s expression grew solemn, knowing Isla Olsen was Keira’s sister, recalling how Isla knew her own background in middle school and beca wiser, thereby stopping any bullying toward Keira at school.
Therefore, Holly Sims didn’t know the sisters had a poor relationship. She walked aside with Isla Olsen, her expression worried, “What exactly is wrong with Keira Olsen?”
Isla Olsen sighed, “Probably her nstrual period. She always feels unwell at this ti each month. Won’s issues, you know.”
Holly Sims imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
It was good that Keira Olsen wasn’t sick.
But then Isla Olsen grasped her hand, “Holly, we are middle school classmates, right? Please help Keira, agree to her bail, okay?”
Holly Sims’s expression suddenly darkened.
But Isla Olsen seed not to notice and continued, “Every ti it’s our period, we look pale, almost like we are anemic. Just rember our past friendship, and sign. We promise we won’t leave…”
Holly Sims abruptly pulled her hand away, “In your dreams! The law enforcent isn’t a place for bargaining!”
She sharply turned towards the bathroom, then towards Captain Lincoln, “She doesn’t qualify for bail; send her back to detention imdiately!”
Only then was Captain Lincoln satisfied, “Good that you understand.”
Holly Sims didn’t want to linger any longer and quickly went upstairs to the departnt of forensic dicine.
When Keira Olsen, pale-faced, walked out of the bathroom, she saw a policewoman standing there with her arms crossed, who scoffed upon seeing her, “Miss Olsen, it’s just your period. We’re all won here, stop pretending! Go back, and wait for your next interrogation!”
Keira Olsen’s legs were a bit weak as she was ushered back to her solitary cell.
The mont she entered, everything suddenly went dark before her eyes, and she collapsed to the ground…
…
Upstairs, Holly Sims grew angrier as she thought about it.
But the image of Keira Olsen’s pale, bloodless cheeks flashed through her mind…
She couldn’t be heartless after all, imdiately she took out her insulated mug, poured a cup of lemon water, and headed to the detention center!
